Not initially. We're planning that for the future, but it introduces a large number of extra complexities that we're not going to tackle in V1.0. If we try to do everything in V1.0, we'll never get it out the door, and this is one of those areas where we're scaling back for the first release.

That's the plan for when we actually add the functionality.

Yep, that's the plan.
You've identified some of the important bits of complexity here that contribute to us deferring this capability until after V1.0. Not only is this something we have to track in the data, it's also something we need to weave into the UI in an appropriate way.

That's the plan and this is targeted for inclusion in V1.0. We see this as an interim way to provide private information to individual PCs/players.

I don't think that's currently on the todo list, but it wouldn't be overly complex to add. This is an example of why we're planning to do a multi-phase Beta test over many months. We know we haven't thought of everything that's going to be important. :-)

I think so. There are features that can definitely be used in this regard. However, I'd need to know more about exactly what you're trying to achieve before I can give a definite yes or no. And during the Beta we'll be refining and enhancing things, so a "no" right now could easily become a "yes" in a few months. :-)
